#PMLive: COMBATTING CANCER – Lift Recruitment ban ~ Kadaga

A decade ago, People dying from cancer in Uganda reached 21,000 and this number is not going down.

It turns out, the number of health workers to care for cancer patients is not sufficient since Government banned recruitment of health workers in 2012, saying only those who retire or leave the profession will be replaced by new ones.

Today, the Speaker of parliament Rebecca Kadaga has called upon government to lift the recruitment ban in the health sector as part of efforts to combat cancer in the country.
